Part of the "Gold Collection" or Helleborus I flower from winter to early spring my blooms start in a shade of pale cream but soon turn to a coppery red before eventually morphing to a delightful light green. My chameleon habit has given me the name ‘Joker’.
My prolific blooms sit above rich deep green foliage to great effect.
I am a hardy long lived evergreen perennial.
With my naturally rounded form I work well in shaded areas of the garden year-round.
I am a good choice for pots and general container planting to brighten up a shaded balcony or paved areas.
Low maintenance I am tolerant of dry conditions and light frosts
Caution: Harmful if eaten/skin irritant
